Guys. If I am s-on running viper. Would I be able to run my backup from stock and then switch back to viper again?

You probably can, but I have a few questions:
Which recovery are you using?
What kernel are you running?
How did you make your backup?
Better question: Why do you want to do this?
Twrp recovery. Stock viper kernel. And backed up with twrp

I suggest making another nandroid/twrp backup of your as-is, then restoring your stock backup.
With s-on, you may need to manually reflash the kernel from adb after the stock restore.

Alrighty then.
EDIT: Oh, I see the question. (I think) you would have to reflash the kernel (boot.img) again. I think is what you are asking? I can't really remember because I have been S-OFF for so long. I remember switching from ROM to ROM was a pain in the ass because I would have to be at my computer to flash the boot.img manually via fastboot.

Do you have to do anything special if your bouncing between nandroid backups with different kernels?

Not if you s-off.
If not then you also have to flash the kernel and possibly the firmware patch if ICS over GB

The patch should already be contained in the Nandroid backup being restored if it worked before.

True.........
You have to use the new firmware patch if you upgraded your firmware after the nandoid was made tho

So after flashing aosp Rom I can't seem to flash anything other than sense 3.6 roms. Why I try I get a constant booting. I'm s-on and also I've noticed the roms with kernel zip built in. The PH98IMG doesn't install on ad card. But zips flashed in recovery do. Also bootfast isn't working either, even tho phone is recognized by computer. Any help would be appreciated on this thanks in advance.

if you can't get to fastboot then you have the zip from another file on there. delete that then in order to get that certain rom to work you have to extract the roms boot.img and fastboot flash on pc.

Have you tried flashing an ruu? Returning to stick would be one of you best options if possible..

Not yet. Was thinking of that as a last resort. Starting to look like I'll have to.

Personally I don't know if that would help, well....actually I don't see why it wouldn't cuz the s-off process will wipe everything.. I'd say do it and flash somethin fresh, don't nandroid after.. try a sense 4 Rom fresh.. if it still doesn't go id try flashjg another aosp Rom that is known not to cause this problem your havig, then try flashing s4 again.. I'm really curious as to why this is happening.. I'm not sure if any of this would help but these are the steps I personally would take to try and trouble shoot..

Crazy is, the problem seems to be something to do with kernels. I can only flash one all others even funky kernel with install thru fastboot, but the out come is the same. Continuous booting. At this point I don't see S-_OFF will fix the problem either. I ruued twice factory reset and used Scott's ten wipe and clean installs only to in up with the same out come.

Hi everyone,
I'm currently on Viper Amaze 1.7.0.2 and I'd like to know how to revert back to stock ICS. My phone is on tmobile, s-on, unlocked bootloader, hboot 1.93.0002 and 4ext recovery. I want to go back to stock ICS because I need wifi calling. I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617644 but not sure which file to download and what to do with it. Thank you.

But you need to be s-off to flash that rom. I tried to s-off my phone once and it got stuck. I don't want to risk it again.

I dunno why all of you get this.. Its cuz your boot.img didn't flash.. Do like this flash the Rom and reboot into the recovery again then a small pop up will come saying turn on smart flash bla bla say yes and give it 10 sec and reboot your phone.. I kinda remember something like that

Hey guys I have a note ii but one of my friends has an HTC One and she's having some trouble and I am unfamiliar with HTC stuff and need some help. She rooted and unlocked and has TWRP installed. I've tried flashing Roms thru TWRP and I can only get a stock build to flash sucessfully and even that failed on the first try but when I try to flash clean ROM it always fails and won't work. Any ideas what's going on? Thanks

Possibly an outdated twrp recovery. Try installing the newest version and see how that goes.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
What all are you wiping in twrp? What rom are you trying to flash? Maybe she needs s-off?
Sent from my HTC One
Is her one S-off? If not, I believe you'll need to flash the bootIMG/kernel seperately thru fastboot . I'm guessing cuz I have HTC Evo LTE and it's the sane way if you're not S-off.
If you're unfamiliar, I bet there's guides stickied in general or Q&A.
Good luck.

I wipe everything when I do it. I've been rooting for a long time now and I'm pretty good but I've never owned an HTC device so I'm not sure how to check if she has s-off but she is rooted. I was able to flash a bone stock 4.3 ROM but I couldn't get clean ROM to flash

You Do NOT need s-off to flash any current ROM's on the one. And you don't have to flash kernels separately like on older htc phones, so don't worry about that.
Honestly I really don't see why your having trouble with clean rom... What exactly is it doing when you try to flash it?

What recovery are you using?
Make sure you are wiping all partitions.
You may need to pull the boot.IMG from the ROM and flash it through fastboot

I agree with hossman. You may need to push the boot.IMG with fastboot
Noooo. Just relock your bootbloader then flash an ICS or GB ruu depending in your bootloader version

I did the same mistake i have 4ext recovery and i've just downloaded the ruu zip and flashed it via 4ext.. Everything woked properly. Then i get s-off.. It can be done only with stock rom if i'm right
